BBC- Thieves snatched his phone in London – it was in China a month later
He is just one victim of an estimated 78,000 “snatch thefts” in England and Wales in the year to March, a big increase on the previous 12 months.
The prosecution rate for this offence is very low – the police say they are targeting the criminals responsible but cannot “arrest their way out of the problem”. They also say manufacturers and tech firms have a bigger role to play.
Would be nice if a Winnie the Poo phone was available, doubt there would be any market for it over there….
A cell-phone attracted person took my cell phone and passport from my left shorts pocket two weeks ago in Barcelona. I reacted quickly and got it back from him right there. Never even felt him lift it. It’s an epidemic in Europe.
We should be able to buy the Mossad upgrade for our phones.. solve that problem right quick.
Or at least make you feel better after your phone was taken
Lol. There could be liability issues. Even if you could take the thief’s picture with the camera would be a nice feature.
